Jesse Lynn Rucilez

What do you consider to be your greatest accomplishment as a writer? Self-publishing five books so far.

What projects of yours have been recently published? My novel: “Evelyn Grimes.”

What are you currently working on and what inspired this work? I’m currently working on a serialized story called “Death’s Avenger,” which is about a very dark superhero. It’s inspired by my love of both criminal psychology and the superhero genre.

If you could have dinner with one fictional character, who would it be and why? I would have dinner with Sherlock Holmes, because he was the first character who really captured my imagination as a kid.

What makes you laugh? I generally laugh at gallows humor.

What makes you cry? I don’t cry often, but stories about lost love and friendship can sometimes make me tear up.

What is your preferred drink while you write? I drink water when I write.
